Adidas will soon be releasing a new version of Kobe Bryant’s iconic signature sneaker, the Crazy 8, this time in a colorway called “Philly,” which will undoubtedly draw eager anticipation from fans. The shoe, which will be officially released in November 2024, is a full blend of nostalgic style, while paying tribute to the late basketball superstar and highlighting Philadelphia’s deep basketball tradition.
Design Features
The Crazy 8 “Philly” draws attention to its distinctive design, featuring a royal blue suede and beige leather upper with bright scarlet detailing, all in the colors of the Philadelphia 76ers. In contrast to previous Philly releases, the design features gold detailing on the tongue, an element that not only adds to the luxury of the shoe, but also symbolizes Philadelphia’s importance on the American stage of history.
A Tribute to Kobe
The replica basketball shoe is part of Adidas’ ongoing tribute to Kobe Bryant, and is inspired by several other iconic shoes bearing the ‘Philly’ name. The previously released Nike Kobe 4 “Philly” also demonstrates the deep emotional connection between Kobe and Philadelphia.
